The Pakistani aircraft, PN Sea King, was on routine operation when it crashed.
Among seven people onboard, three survived and managed to escape the chopper after the crash; three officials went missing, for which a rescue operation is still ongoing.
The martyred officer named SSG-N operator Akhtar Ali, who also took part in a bilateral exercise with Egyptian Special Forces in the past, was laid to rest with honour on Saturday.
